Driving me crazy, and I dont have far to go. Thanks in >advance, George It does not mean nothing. different engines have different search tree and it can cause the difference. tablebases hits slow the search so different engines have different rules when to probe the tablebases. rules to probe more may do the engine stronger because of more knowledge but also may do the engine weaker because of less speed so we simply know nothing about your questions.
